THE CREAMERY BUSINESS.

Mr. Evarts harps quite little on Mr..
Iazcn's letters and statements. | see
that Mr.. Hazen seems to be hurt by my
statement that he was milking only 10 or
80 cows. knew that he was not milk
ing the three hundred cows as represent
ed in Mr.. Evarts' former letter and that
the test there reported was only in his
private herd. had seen in other articles
that Mr.. IIazens test lasted two weeks
and as he used only LII lbs. of milk in
those two weeks. it would average per
day little under 500 lbs. calling the
head 10, it makes 20 lbs. of milk per COW
per day, or 10 lbs at a milking. or little
less than five quarts. As did not know
the exact number, computed it in this
way and think the readers of the REGIS
TER will say it was fair basis. In Mr..
IIazens letter which Mr.. Evarts copies
ne says he had 1870 Jersey COWS in milk.
As only 500 lbs were in the test per day.
it makes lG lbs. per COW per day orb LIP
lbs. each milking. This is less than 3
pints. Mr.. IIazen's attention being called
to this he states that the calves took some
of the milk Not wishing to do Mr..
IIazen an injustice in beittleing the size
of his herd. | gladly make the correction
and leave the facts with your readers.
| wish to state right here that | do not
think Mr.. lIaZen today will state that
the separator cream makes a. good but
ter as the Cooley or deep setting: if so,
why has he never dared to make his high
priced butter from separator cream: Will
Mr.. EvartS please inform your readers:
Mr.. llazen when at the New York fair
two weeks ago admitted that he had not
run the Cooley rs it should be run. or
according to directions. and that he was
satisfied the Cooley had not received
Justice at his hands. and that in the
future trials he would run it strictly ac-
cording to directions and not according
to his own notion of things. | believe
Mr.. llazen will yet be strong advocate
of the Cooley system.
now wish to refer to the other letter
Mr.. Evarts copies in the article referred
to, that of Mr. II. +. Allen. Mr.. Allen
admits that my claim that "Cooley butter
scored 100 points and Shelburne Falls
scored % points" is true, but tries to lessen
the effect of the victory over his by say
ing that both were print butter. Shell
burne Falls was tub butter and therefore
Mr.. Aliens point fails here. He also
says that these scored ''tive points for
the handsome and attractive manner in
which they were put up, wishing your
readers to understand that in this partic-
ular they got more points than Mr.. Aliens
Shrewsbury butter, which is not true. In
this particular they scored alike: the
points on which Shrewsbury failed We're
''tlavor and grain" so that this point of
Mr.. Aliens fails. Mr.. Allen shows his
ignorance OF fairs and prizes by claiming
that because he takes IA prize in one class
that he therefore takes ''the first" at the
fair, when several Others score more
points in other classes than he does i'm his
class. In this letter dated April I'D
why did not Mr.. Allen say that the
Shrewsbury Creamery Co.'S patronage
was largely reduced; that they could not
compete with other factories and con-
tractors and had notified their patrons that
| they would take no more milk after April
|, and that its patronage is now confined
to the owners of the machine with diaries
near by: The Westboro creamery. which
he states is Cooley cream-gathering
factory. adjoining them. has nearly or
quite doubled its patronage since April |,
New York dairy show two weeks ago.
This factory was induced to put in a sep
arator, as some of the darymen offered
to patronize it. Let Us see what the
president of the company says of the re-
suits
WEsTBOROUGH, Mass. April 20. 1857.
1--WE got our separator in and the first
four DAYS we got , 6 $ - ut. cans to separ-
ate, and none since. One of the men that
brought in the most of the 20 cans has
got Cooley creamer now and is setting
his milk in it, so think you can say that
the separator is a dead loss to the West
DOTOuSH creamery.
l.. y. FAIRBANKS,
Pres't Marlborough Cream, Co."
This proves again that the farmers will
not patronize separators when they can
have the Cooley cream gathering system.
Mr.. Evarts says that Mr.. A. j. East
man of Bristol cannot find the second
hand separators; that is because he don't
want to find them. Leonard Bros, Nor
wood, n. Y, and Geo. A. Austin, Suf-
field, Ct, and several Others would like
to sell him if not already sold. | again
challenge Mr.. Evarts to name one place
where the Cooley cream-gathering sys-
TEN has been changed to separators.
have already named quite large number
who have changed to Cooley cream-gath-
ering from separators.
